A view of the Gurtenfestival grounds on Bern’s local mountain: In the foreground is a large festival entrance area featuring eye-catching, colorful, large-format tarps and signage, all of which were produced, manufactured, constructed, and installed by Richnerstutz. Visitors are strolling, standing, or walking through this area, while atmospheric festival decorations, logos, and directional signs define the layout of the grounds. In the background, you can see stage elements, tent roofs, and crowds gathered in front of the stages. The scene conveys a lively festival atmosphere in daylight. This branding is part of Richnerstutz’s event branding efforts at the legendary Gurtenfestival.

Event Branding
Gurtenfestival

The Gurtenfestival is a highlight of the events calendar that invites music fans from all over Switzerland to Bern's local mountain, the Gurten, year after year. We, too, are devoted attendees – and not just for the fantastic music. For several years now, we have taken care of the branding for this legendary festival, thus playing our part in creating the unique atmosphere that makes the "Güsche", as it is affectionately known, so very special.

Our work involved various event branding tasks: our creations were on display right from the main entrance and the Eichhofbar through to the forest stage and main stage. We are especially pleased with how the Sound Garden, the tent stage and the Supermercado turned out, from both the interior and exterior perspectives.

What's more, we also produced and delivered various signage elements, thus helping festival attendees to easily find their way around the site. 

It was a joy and a great honour to return to the Gurtenfestival festival this year and to contribute once again to its visual appearance. We can't wait to show off the "Güsche" in its best light in the future too. There's no question: Bern rocks!
